Everyone is always on the same version, whether you have the DLC or not. If you don't have the DLC, you can't play as any unlocked factions. If you do, you can, whether the host has it or not.

Dr. Video Games 0031 posted:I've signed up for Paradox's newsletter like five times now, and have never unsubscribed from it. Yet every time I hear about one of these code giveways, I check and notice that I haven't received an issue in months. They just keep auto unsubscribing me or something. Who knows. It's incredibly frustrating. At least, this time I already have the game they're giving it away. I just would have liked to given it to someone else instead. Same here, but I'm not sure what the issue is.

It's been a long time since I've played base Crusader Kings 2 and after a brief run through in Vanilla I can definitely tell it will take some getting use to. I've never even played Multiplayer before. Are there any areas you are specifically looking to fill? I did testgames as the Pope's vassal and again as the Count of Axum, but there is a lot of waiting that really isn't conductive to a team game. Scandinavia might be a good place to start off, particularly as I orient myself.

Here's a map that should give a good idea as to what areas need more players

Unfortunately you guys play at a time I'd be unavailable in otherwise I'd think about joining. Just curious, is it considered bad form to start as a King? Or is it just considered boring, so players shy away from doing it?

Just a quick question: is it possible in the code to change someone's dynasty through an event? I'm finally set on trying to make this silly Dark Age Rome mod of mine and I want to kludge together a "adoptive succession" mechanic for it.

Well I don't speak for other games but we're starting as counts/republics because being a conversion game it'ld be uninteresting for the world to blob too much too fast. Too bad about the start time being bad for you

Took a brief look there and:quote:The most important change is that we discourage gifters from posting codes or direct links to games for grabs. Please ask people to post their Steam IDs instead and then contact them. E: Although I see there's a bunch of EUIIIs on page 115 if anyone wants to try them.

It just happens everywhere. People still do it there, and it's fine. They just prefer that people do it more personally through PMs or Steam, or through a Steamgifts giveaway. Either way, it's a nice thing to do and someone ended up happy, at least, even if they don't actively post.

nothing to seehere posted:Just wanted to point out that I'm a goon and just signed up for napoli in the game. Reconsidering thought since I cant swear fealty to the Byzantines. Hrrm? Well Bulgaria probably has a spot open and that would let you be Byz eventually. quote:IIRC they changed it some time after SOI came out, originally you all needed the DLC but the host could choose to deactivate his DLC so that people without the DLC could play It strikes me as good advertisement. You join a MP game and play a muslem/republic so you buy the dlc to play in singleplayer.

Apologies in advance if this discussion is a bit of a derail,  QuoProQuid posted:I am going to assume no two province counts for this Megagame, correct? I think I know who I want to sign up as but making some last minute checks. Your allowed a count with two demenses, (so two provinces) but no more than 3 holdings per demense; and by three, I mean the three ones at the bottom not including your main holding. This is so it isn't *too* difficult.

Mister Bates posted:How the hell did Croatia end up in Australia? All the Kroats were deported to Kroatstralia and Kroatgascar by the one of Serbia-Byzantium's previous rulers, sometime in the 17th century. At present no, it won't, but I might release a version compatible with A Pop Divided in the near future, as there is very little conflict between the files (APD is mostly gameplay changes while this is a scenario).

So, I am now convinced that Paradox is one of the most customer-service oriented companies in the industry right now. When I get the free code for EU3: Chronicles I couldn't use it because I already owned the game. I emailed their Sales department and asked if I could exchange it for a CK2: Republic key instead, and they had me a Republic Steam key this afternoon. I've never had this level of customer service from anyone except Blizzard, and I honestly couldn't be happier with the experience. I hope only the best happens for Paradox, and this just makes my decision to buy their products all the more rewarding for me because I have personal proof that they take the satisfaction of their customers very seriously. I am going to cross-post this to the CK2 thread in case anyone wants to do this as well. The lady I talked to, Reena, said it wasn't a hassle and all they had to do was verify that the EU3 code was officially cancelled and they went ahead and sent me the Republic key as soon as they had the verification.

Elias_Maluco posted:"Nueva Roma"? In Brasil? Explain this one to me, please. It was an Italian colony with a Rome fetish captured by the Aztecs. It may revolt and become an industrial SPQR in the tropics. The LP had a subtitle of a "I have lost track of all these Romes", so that was a recurrent theme.
